Pimp of the week! I’m not sure if this started as a webcomic and became a book or the other way around. Someone told me that its also being made into a movie and etc etc. Either way, many many pages of Diary of a Wimpy Kid are available at that site and it is pretty great read. Very authentic and humorous, and I’m sure many of us can personally relate to being giant dorks in middle school. I spent a few nights reading through the archive and really enjoyed it.

You have written the most adorable non-stereotypically realistic couple in comic form ever. Great work as always, I look forward to more.

I enjoyed the comic prior to Luca and his family but enjoy it far more because of him. He may do “terrible things’ but he’s human. I think what most people forget is that even people who have done terrible, unforgivable things were human. It may be painful, but in my opinion his humanity makes his POV more palpable.

Your art is something to live up to, even for me : a traditional artist. Thank you.

long-time creeper of this comic finally coming out of hiding, aheh.
well, i gotta say, i am happy that phe and luca seem to be on a somewhat even keel for now, but…it worries me that things are constantly up and down with the two of them. troubles me indeed. and…..the last panel…im not even gonna lie, when i saw it, i flinched and shivered. brrrrrrrrrrr! im getting a REALLY ominous feeling about all of this….*whimper*

Yeah, I went there : I can’t see anyone with that much hair in the front not having any in the back. I’m just glad there were pillows at the bottom because I was not looking forward to elucidating his hair placement any further.

I, also, am grateful for the not-every-character-is-a-size-zero bodies that you draw– you boost the esteem of so many ladies, myself included!

Just, um, this one thing… am… am I missing Luca’s tattoo? It- it was in the last page, on his right arm, but it’s uh… gone now? Sorry for pointing it out, I just… th-thought… you shout know…?

ANYWAY thank you so much for your hard work and dedication to unique, real, flawed, gorgeous characters. I have you on my “check daily just in case!” list, just above my tabs. Your favicon burrrns into my eyes with looove. <333

Haha, yes, you’re very correct. I was hoping nobody would notice until I got a change to get back into Photoshop but I can’t get one past you guys XD I also forgot Phe’s strechmarks, but I have to put those on too.

I absolutely adore Phe, she’s so gorgeous and as previously stated she’s not the ‘perfection’ of vanity sizes but she still rocks that figure. Ahh, the return of my faith in the human ideals of beauty. ;]

Also. Love the comic, shame I don’t really get around to commenting, I could probably write all my enjoyment of it out in here…but it is probably better if I don’t -completely- fill up your comment space.

I love your style of cartoony-realism. I admire your work so much that I constantly find myself subconciously imitating little things of yours in my own comic. I swear I don’t do it on purpose, lol! (The freakiest thing is that my main character is also missing his front teeth and I thought of that before I started reading this)

At first I thought that Phe’s body looked a bit strange in the third panel, like her butt was way to big, but now I think that I only thought that because I haven’t seen as many naked middle-aged women and yonger women. Plus, the top of her body is turning away from the viewer while her lower half is straight-on, so it makes sense.

Yeah, well she also has a big butt/ pear shape in general :B It was a bit tricky at first because I originally drew her head disproportionately large to match her ass, but I guess the ass stands alone.

Ahahah, sneaky Phe is sneaky!
I love that you consistently draw characters that don’t look look like the media-average body type.
Also really like the dialogue – we know so little about Luca/Phe factually, yet the dialogue (here and elsewhere) has given us a lot of insight on them.

Sorry? I didn’t know there was an age limit to sleeping naked .-D
You may want to consider the fact that we live more of our life as adults than as kids.
Being able to buy your own clothes isn’t that bad .-P

Holy shit. I guess I am tired, but I read through the page a few times, went ‘awww’, then read the comments, wondered what people were talking about, scrolled back up to look at the last panel and … aaaahhhhhhhhh! How did I miss that?

The way you’ve made Luca’s grammar slips is very authentic, I can empathise as another non-english person with lots of foreign language interaction. :3

Their natural looking bodytypes look so good, you’ve created both the small teenage girl look of Angora and these older two to look more than just vague indications of age in facial proportions.

I’ve been reading this comic since it was thumbnails on your LJ, albeit only the first three chapters, and just so you know, Phe is pretty much my favorite character, in that incarnation and in this one, marvelous mom-butt and all. (Pinter’s up there, too, though that is neither here nor there at the moment.)

i’m a long time lurker of your work and i wait with baited breath every week (day) for a new page.
i seriously love, love, love that you made their bodies appropriate to their age. little details like this is what makes them look so real, to compliment how real their relationship feels. phe is just gorgeous, with and without clothing.

Heheh, I love Phe. And I love dis page. Yay! Will i finally know about all this tiger stuff?!

PS. The TV is on in the background and there’s a quiz show on and JUST as I clicked on this page the question was: ”In the Authorized New Testement, Who is said to ‘Inherit the Earth?”’ And the contestant was like ”THE MEEK!” just thought I’d tell you that.

I wanted to ask (sorry if someone has already brought this up) about the Chapter 2 cover. I noticed that the shadow looming through the window seems to have eyes. Is there any relation between them and the eyes on the wall in the latest panel?

I love how you draw them! you can clearly see that they aren’t young anymore, they both have some meat on the body, and some saggy skin and everything. And they are really beautiful like that! (plus, I have a thing for breast hair *g*)

Its not often you see something in such a clean cut style that has so much expression and movement,
or a fantasy setting with such mature writing and emotion.
This comic is amazing, just wonderful. The argument that just past, it felt so natural, so real. Its so great to see real complex charcaters, so full of history and real emotion. This comic wonderfully written, the charcters feel very real and are just charming, every one seems to be made with love and care. And the artwork ofcourse is gorgeus, but suprisingly so full of emotion whilst keeping such a tidy and refined look.
Keep up the good work, I’m in love with this web comic, Id love to see it go to print one day.

Okay, I know I’ve spazzed about this before, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE your treatment of the language. You’re so attentive to detail, and your mistakes are spot on! Can I use this as an example for my class next week? The topic is modals, which is PERFECTLY what this page highlights, and it’s BEAUTIFUL!!! XD *spazzes*

I was rambling about your comic to my sister about how amazing the art was, and suddenly she asks me what the story is about…. I realized that I actually had no idea yet :D After a few blank seconds I just told her that it’s about awesome people being awesome!

loll I have the same problem sometimes. Mine is more because I don’t want to spoil anything than not being able to summarize it though :) In general I guess you could say its a story about people trying to rule the world…?

I’ve got to say, I love this comic. It inspires me to put my ideas up on the web. I’ve been coming up with comic ideas for at least 13 years now and have been very secretive of them from the public. I sort of have a fear that if I do actually make them into a webcomic it’ll shoot down their chances of hitting it off big, becoming popular and all official-like. Some of these ideas I’ve been working on since I could first draw and as I grew up they evolved into more complex, better storylines. I know they’d be great and I don’t say that to gloat, I say it because most of them I’ve took years to make sure they are. But I don’t want them to just be a webcomic, like how I hope The Meek gets the recognization it so rightfully deserves. From one inventive story maker to another, I know this took a LONG time to come up with. Heart and soul was poured into this comic, ideas were perfected and dedication for this project was tested I’m sure. Kudos to you and I hope The Meek goes far.

I REALLY like Luca’s body shape. It’s so unique to the realm of webcomics and sparkling man-candies with bristling abdomens and hairless chests.
But, ya know, I have a soft spot for the squishy hairy men~ They need more love~

I…see some sort of apparition ….
also…why is he speaking weird all of a sudden?
oh, btw i love how you draw bodies. the lines all appear to be in the right places where there are rolls of fat or muscle. =)

Imperfect anatomy! This is excellent! I like the fact that the Emperor and his wife are overweight – most comics, everybody is either perfect or way out of proportion. I feel almost like I could take anatomy lessons just from this cartoon.
